The Me Bird

Stratastencil animation, dance and poetry take flight in this short film by 18bis. A diversified artistic experimentation creates the story of a ballerina on a journey towards freedom.

A ballerina comes to life, one layer at a time

The short film is a free interpretation of the homonym poem by Pablo Neruda. The inspiration in the strata stencil technique helps conceptualize the repetition of layers as the past of our movements and actions.

The frames depicted as jail and the past as a burden serve as the background for the story of a ballerina on a journey towards freedom. A diversified artistic experimentation recreates the tempest that connects bird and dancer.

Hybrid creatures and epic chases. The multifaceted nature of dreams depicted in an animation series

With over eight years of experience across the audiovisual industry, the creative directors teamed up to create a studio with one clear philosophy: creative freedom.

Gabriel, the Animation Director, could just as well have been a rap drummer. Instead, he incorporates rhythm as a core principle of his language, employing a playful style and cadence.

Maria Ilka is the Art Director and also a former somnambulist. Today, her waking hours are split between building dream-like scenarios and satisfying her sweet tooth in the mornings.

The studio's name, 18bis, was inspired by the most prodigious creation by Brazilian inventor Santos Dumont -- the airplane 14bis, which helped change the way people interact and connect with each other. 18bis takes flight and journeys through this inventive atmosphere, working through the convergence of medias and techniques.

18bis's essence is a mixture between craftsmanship and computer, a conspiracy between ink and light. Poetry and keyframe. Drawing and rhythm. Sight and storytelling. All of these methods are forged together and infused in every single frame, with love.
